    But the average traffic a plane encounters isn't at all like the average traffic a car encounters.

    "Or, perhaps they should make sure that Tesla owners can read at a 4th grade level before becoming owners. I'm fairly certain that Tesla lawyers ensured that the EULA describes EXACTLY what "autopilot" does and does not do"

    1) Are you saying the EULA is written so a 4th grader would completely understand it?

    Absolutely. And they should make it much more clear that drivers should keep their hands on the wheel at all times, which autopilot doesn't imply.

    And Tesla needs to promote the idea that you need to "keep your hands on the wheel at all times" rather than the idea of an "auto-pilot".

    "Does Uber require that the person they are paying to drive actually be the driver? If so, then the drivers are definitely employees, but if the person they are paying is allowed to subcontract someone else to do their work (and presumably still make a profit while doing so), then the driver is not"

    Silent coder confirmed that you were oversimplifying with your snow shoveling response.

    It sounds to me like you're still oversimplifying.

    "If someone agrees to drive for Uber as an independent contractor, then Uber is that person's client. If an independent contractor agrees to work for a client who isn't willing to negotiate their pay rate, then that's on that person"

    It doesn't work like that, you need to look up the legal definitions of an employee and an independent contractor and how the law distinguishes between them.

  11. "....but that doesnt matter in the slightest....."

    Of course it matters, it is a fact, and it's a large margin at that. *You* can still choose how or if it matters to you, but that won't change the fact that Trump won the election and lost the popular vote.

  12. Nah, that would be like saying Trump lost too because he lost some debate with Hillary. Losing the popular vote by over 2 800 000 votes is clearly losing the popular vote.

  13. "That's why he's taking office in 20 days"

    Yup, Trump won the election but lost the popular vote, hence he lost too, just not the election.

    That said, I'm sorry for my comment. It was my sad attempt at trolling and it took nearly 24hrs to get a response and have my comment down voted, and if it wasn't for the update I'd probably never have gotten any attention.

  14. Trump lost too

    It is not the religion, per se, that is the problem. It is fundamentalists or extremists who claim to be part of the religion that are the problem.

    I think we can safely say that it is both. Idiots are a problem, and people who get them worked up to do stupid things in the name of religion are also a problem. Take away that excuse and they'll have many less takers.

    Not really, not all fundamentalists, and religions or ideologies, contribute to the problem. But for extremists, I think most agree they're a problem in every culture.

    start cleaning things up a bit

    Lots of people say this, very few have (practical) plans for implementing it. Trouble with "cleaning up" this kind of crap is that it kind of has to start at the top -- and the top is exactly where the people benefiting such behaviors are sitting.

    I see the problems, I'd agree that attention to "the top" is important, I'd also think all levels need to "clean up" their understandings.
